[slate swan]

realpython is a good website

[velvet tinsel]

I just googled it

[slate swan]

stackoverflow helps a lot

[velvet tinsel]

I still use it to study PyQt5

[orchid inlet]

thanks

[tawdry perch]

where in docs may i read about it, I opened the docs of discord.Message but I can't see about what I can give to it

[orchid inlet]

so realpython and stackoverflow

[slate swan]

yes

[velvet tinsel]

For looking for questions, not asking. I get like -1 votes

[velvet tinsel]

Test it

My favourite part of python is testing

[tawdry perch]

hmm I'm dumb

[velvet tinsel]

Just do what you did and then see if it works

If it doesn’t come back

What do you want to do again?

[tawdry perch]

I will

[tawdry perch]

I'm building a bookmark command

[velvet tinsel]

Ah

No I meant like your code what do you want it to do

[tawdry perch]

Get message and build embed of it

I can't really explain yet

[velvet tinsel]

So fetch()?

Or use a hyperlink?

[tawdry perch]

ehh wait a sec

so yes, I can give it a message link

[velvet tinsel]

Yes

Sweet

[tawdry perch]

that made by job a lot easier

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.created_at returns a datetime.datetime object, you can use the timestamp() attribute on it to get the timestamp

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.created\_at

property created_at```
Equivalent to [`User.created_at`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.created_at "discord.User.created_at")

[steep estuary]

that worked

[boreal ravine]

yes

[tawdry perch]

hmm if message is longer than xx characters, how can I split the content so it will only be the 40 chars or smth```py
if len(msg.content) > 40:

actually this is wrong channel, brb

[boreal ravine]

sure

[visual island]

slice it

[lament mesa]

message[40:]

[tawdry perch]

I did it nearly correctly I had : in the wrong side

[visual island]

!e
msg = "".join(["e"*1000])
print(msg[:20])

[unkempt canyon]

@visual island :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[lament mesa]

!e py msg = "firstsecondthird" print(msg[:5])

[unkempt canyon]

@lament mesa :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

first

[tawdry perch]

why is it now :number and not number:

[maiden fable]

That's just like the range function, like [start:stop:step]

[lament mesa]

nvm i thought you wanted to exclude the first 40 chars

[tawdry perch]

oh

[tawdry perch]

I wanted the first 40 characters

[visual island]

it means take the characters before/after the index depends on the position of :

[maiden fable]

Yea so the code is correct

[tawdry perch]

So many pongs around

[lament mesa]

[5:] will exclude first 5 chars

[velvet tinsel]

I’m back

[lament mesa]

yeah, then its message.content[:40]

[tawdry perch]

oh

[visual island]

[velvet tinsel]

[tawdry perch]

how did I place the avatar + user name there?

msg.author gives the name, but what about avatar

[lament mesa]

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar: Optional[discord.asset.Asset]```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the avatar the user has.

If the user does not have a traditional avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar "discord.User.display_avatar").

[tawdry perch]

avatar = msg.author.display_avatar
``` so it would b smth like this?

[visual island]

sure

[sick talon]

how can i blacklist bad words from the gifs links as well ?

[tawdry perch]

how do I place it to the embed?

[visual island]

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=Embed.Empty, icon_url=Embed.Empty)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[tawdry perch]

oo

[orchid inlet]

what is a reserved word

like for is a keyword, but I cant say that for = 3

[visual island]

python keyword

yeah

[orchid inlet]

yes, but for is a python keyword

[sick talon]

@visual island

[visual island]

cant you just see the message content?

[sick talon]

it isnt working

it is just blacklisting the messages with the bad words

but not the gifs

[tawdry perch]

I did this ```py
avatar = msg.author.display_avatar

raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'display_avatar'

[visual island]

try seeing the message.attachments then see the attachment.url

[sick talon]

ok

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'url'

[tawdry perch]

I tried doing ```py

do I need to get a user object instead?

[maiden fable]

 Yea it works

[maiden fable]

Now do u know how to do so?

[tawdry perch]

whole code?

[sick talon]

i didnt work for me tho

[maiden fable]

Not talking to u Nipa

[sick talon]

i will try again

[maiden fable]

[tawdry perch]

oh, sorry

i tried using this

i have changed a bit

this is suggested by Myxi

@maiden fable btw how to get the attachment url ?

[gaunt ice]

its embed.set_author(name=msg.author, icon_url=msg.author.avatar.url)

[tawdry perch]

oh.. Let me try it

[gaunt ice]

try it or did u just figured it out already?, ok

[visual island]

oh that's why

your code is kinda weird though

[gaunt ice]

lol

[tawdry perch]

still wrong

[wild oak]

ughhhhhghhghghhghg

[gaunt ice]

hmm

[visual island]

and it would be so slow if you got a big content

[gaunt ice]

wait i will send my code

[wild oak]

did i not do i right

i swear to god this worked before

[tawdry perch]

!paste works for traceback and code/ use code block for short code instead of screen shot, thx

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[tawdry perch]

[slate swan]

make a flag

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[slate swan]

🇮🇳 here take it now??

[velvet tinsel]

Do you have permissions to ban members?

[slate swan]

check if the message has -u in it, manipulate the string if it does to get the last result and send it

[prisma spoke]

yes.. none of the commands wud work but

[velvet tinsel]

Did it send anything?

[slate swan]

Like getting index of -u and getting the next string by adding 1 to index??

Isn't there an official method to do so??

[prisma spoke]

nope

[velvet tinsel]

Hm

[slate swan]

Yeah you can do that

[slate swan]

Nope, though I'm currently working on a flag handler

something in there is None

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[velvet tinsel]

Hi sherlock

[reef shell]

maybe you have members intent not enabled?

[reef shell]

Hi

[velvet tinsel]

I think something is None as there is a NoneType error?

[slate swan]

in "id_users.txt" id users

is located

[velvet tinsel]

send whatever's in it

or check Intents like what Sherlock said

[reef shell]

yeah , get_user returns None if there is no user of that id or if you don't have members intent

[velvet tinsel]

I traced it back to a txt file, maybe it's that reason?

[leaden jasper]

how to await in inits in a cog

[indigo hill]

asking here since I couldn't find it anywhere
What does Sir lance bot exactly do?

[velvet tinsel]

I have to go code for a sec

[orchid inlet]

what do you call the words like cogs and def and print

is that var?

[velvet tinsel]

var means variable

[orchid inlet]

I know

[leaden jasper]

idk i just call them keywords

[velvet tinsel]

I think they are built-in functions

[velvet tinsel]

or keywords, yeah

[reef shell]

def is a keyword

for defining functions

[orchid inlet]

wut. cogs and def and print is not keywords?

[velvet tinsel]

they are all keywords

[velvet tinsel]

ye

[orchid inlet]

ahh, but they are not reserved keywords right?

[reef shell]

cogs is not a keyword for python

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

[leaden jasper]

its a class, nice

[slate swan]

is there a way to know if a member replied to one of my bot's msgs?

[boreal ravine]

Everything "main" in dpy is a class

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Message.reference <= replies iirc

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

The message that this message references. This is only applicable to messages of type MessageType.pins_add, crossposted messages created by a followed channel integration, or message replies.

New in version 1.5.

[slate swan]

Thx

[orchid inlet]

when I search "all python keywords" cog, print and def doenst pop up.

[reef shell]

huh

[boreal ravine]

def, print is but cog isn't

[lament mesa]

!d keywords

[orchid inlet]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-keywords-and-identifiers/

[unkempt canyon]

keywords

The following identifiers are used as reserved words, or keywords of the language, and cannot be used as ordinary identifiers. They must be spelled exactly as written here:

False      await      else       import     pass
None       break      except     in         raise
True       class      finally    is         return
and        continue   for        lambda     try
as         def        from       nonlocal   while
assert     del        global     not        with
async      elif       if         or         yield

[orchid inlet]

thank you

[boreal ravine]

oh

[lament mesa]

all the keywords

[boreal ravine]

you meant those keywords, my bad 💀

[orchid inlet]

and by "those keywords" you mean reserved keywords right?

[sullen shoal]

print is a built in function

[boreal ravine]

yes

[orchid inlet]

thanks

[boreal ravine]

yep, I was confused by that and a keyword

[reef shell]

keywords = reserved by default

[orchid inlet]

and print, def and cogs is all functions right?

[reef shell]

print is a built-in function and def is a keyword

[sullen shoal]

cogs?

[reef shell]

read this @orchid inlet

[orchid inlet]

Oh, I didnt see the "def"

[leaden jasper]

@sullen shoal

[orchid inlet]

yes

[sullen shoal]

Cog is a class

[orchid inlet]

yeye I see. Do you know a site where I can read all the definitions of these functions?

[reef shell]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

[sullen shoal]

it has no connection with python but discord.py module

[reef shell]

click on the link

[orchid inlet]

okay, and then what

[reef shell]

that's the site you are looking for

[sullen shoal]

you mean built-in functions?

[orchid inlet]

yes

not the keywords, I have found a website where I can read about all those

[reef shell]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

https://pythondiscord.com/resources

[reef shell]

you might wanna learn python

[sullen shoal]

the source to all things related to python can be found in the official documentation, search built-in functions there

[orchid inlet]

wdym by htat

[visual island]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#built-in-funcs

[reef shell]

because it seems like you don't have basic knowledge of python

[orchid inlet]

thats why im asking?

[reef shell]

so if you want to learn

[orchid inlet]

I need to read. That is what im going to

[reef shell]

yeah, gl

[orchid inlet]

thanks

[orchid inlet]

thanks. Just what I was looking for

[rotund nova]

Nope

I have vps on server.pro

[sullen shoal]

if it sends everything twice, there is a good chance that what they said is true

[velvet tinsel]

wait can you someone DM you via a bot if the bot is in Mutual Servers?

[sullen shoal]

should work, i got dms from many scam bots like that

[leaden jasper]

how to run a task until complete

[slate swan]

code:```py
class MyClient(discord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
print('Logged on as', self.user)

async def on_message(self, message):
    # don't respond to ourselves
    if message.author == self.user:
        return

    if message.content == 'ping':

        file = open("id_users.txt", "rt")
        content = file.read()
        file.close()

        user_id_list = content
        for user_id in user_id_list:
            user = self.get_user(user_id)

            file2 = open(r"message.txt", "rt")
            content2 = file2.read()
            file2.close()

can you help?

[sullen shoal]

get_user accepts int, reading from a file returns str

!e print(1 == "1")

[unkempt canyon]

@sullen shoal :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

False

[slate swan]

And what do I need to do? how do I translate to Int?

[sullen shoal]

use the int builtin function (and class)

!e print(1 == int("1"))

[unkempt canyon]

@sullen shoal :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[slate swan]

I already understood where to insert it?

[sullen shoal]

not spoonfeeding that much, think and try

thats the way to success

[shadow wraith]

geniunely don't use classes for defining my client

that to send a message in an event, use message.channel.send or in a command do ctx.send

oh wait

[slate swan]

If you'd better tell me where to insert it, then I didn't have to waste my time right now . . . /:

@bot.command()
async def buy(ctx, *args):
    conn = sqlite3.connect('test.sql')
    c = conn.cursor()
    amount = 150
    player = ctx.author
    c.execute(f"UPDATE data SET balance = balance-{amount} WHERE ID = {player.id}")
    await ctx.send('gg')

its giving output just not updating the value in the database

[velvet tinsel]

client.users.get("ID").send(embed=feedback_embed)

[sullen shoal]

thats not how you learn, rn its a small thing but when it comes to debugging bigger stuff, you would only depend on others and i dont want someome to waste their time like that

[sick talon]

how the code should be ?

[velvet tinsel]

does this DM me when the bot has mutual servers?

[slate swan]

help pls

[velvet tinsel]

you have to use json

[slate swan]

but my entire info is in a database

[sick talon]

@velvet tinsel can you help me with how can i blacklist gifs with bad words in it ?

[velvet tinsel]

profanity

[sick talon]

??

[velvet tinsel]

[tawdry perch]

Akarys 👀

[rain apex]

hi

[velvet tinsel]

just search up how to censor swear words in dpy

[tawdry perch]

Suprising to see you outside of #dev-contrib and off topic

[rain apex]

got a mod alert haha

[tawdry perch]

Oh right, cya 👋

[sick talon]

i dont need a module i will add the swear words manually

[velvet tinsel]

client.users.get(ID).send(embed=feedback_embed) will this DM me if the bot has a mutual server but I don't share a server with the person?

[sick talon]

try it out

[velvet tinsel]

I did

[tawdry perch]

did it work?

[velvet tinsel]

nothing happened 😛

[tawdry perch]

then I could say, no it does not

[sick talon]

[velvet tinsel]

well that's sad

😦

[sullen shoal]

didnt i help you with it someday

[sick talon]

it wasn't working properly i tested it out today

[sullen shoal]

what wasnt working

[velvet tinsel]

client.users.get(ID).send(embed=feedback_embed) is this correct? Doesn't really work

[sick talon]

i wasn't getting the message in console that the url is blacklisted

[sullen shoal]

get_user

[sullen shoal]

what was the message

[velvet tinsel]

ok I'll read the docs

[sick talon]

wait nvm i found it

[hazy agate]

bruh

python is going wayy to farr

[sullen shoal]

?

[velvet tinsel]

?

[velvet tinsel]

then how do you send it?

I forgor 💀

[slate swan]

the highlighted one ? its a unix timestamp

[sullen shoal]

it will return the User object of the passed int id

[mild token]

datetime has timestamp method

Use that

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-timestamp-styles

[velvet tinsel]

@slate swan no

[sullen shoal]

discord.ext.commands.Bor.get_user

[mild token]

!d datetime.datetime.timestamp

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.timestamp

datetime.timestamp()```
Return POSIX timestamp corresponding to the [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instance. The return value is a [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float") similar to that returned by [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time").

Naive [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instances are assumed to represent local time and this method relies on the platform C `mktime()` function to perform the conversion. Since [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") supports wider range of values than `mktime()` on many platforms, this method may raise [`OverflowError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OverflowError "OverflowError") for times far in the past or far in the future.

For aware [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instances, the return value is computed as:

```py
(dt - datetime(1970, 1, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc)).total_seconds()
```   New in version 3.3.

Changed in version 3.6: The [`timestamp()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.timestamp "datetime.datetime.timestamp") method uses the [`fold`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.fold "datetime.datetime.fold") attribute to disambiguate the times during a repeated interval.

[velvet tinsel]

yes, I used that

[sullen shoal]

it will return User then use the send method of it dont forget to await it tho

[slate swan]

!e py from datetime import datetime timestamp = int(datetime.now().timestamp()) print(timestamp)

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1637848802

[slate swan]

so this is how you get the timestamp

read it again , its datetime.datetime.timestamp , not datetime.timestamp

[mild token]

!e
from datetime import datetime
timestamp = int(datetime.now().timestamp())
print(f"<t:{timestamp}:F>")

[slate swan]

<t:1637848882:F>

[mild token]

!e
from datetime import datetime
timestamp = int(datetime.now().timestamp())
print(f"<t:{timestamp}:F>")

[unkempt canyon]

@mild token :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

<t:1637848933:F>

[slate swan]

what kinda confused?

[mild token]

O it's using ` that's y i think

[velvet tinsel]

@sullen shoal yeah it didn't work

[slate swan]

yea'

no. ?

[velvet tinsel]

user = get(client.get_all_members(), id="863091076617601085")
                        if user:
                            await user.send(feedback_embed)
                        else:
                            await ctx.send("uhh no")

forgive the indents

[mild token]

Copy the output and send here of python bot

[slate swan]

they dont mean anything , thats the timestamp integer

[mild token]

U will get to know

The one which bot sended above

<t:1637848933:F>

<t:1637848933:F>

Send this without `

Yes this way

[velvet tinsel]

why doesn't this work

[mild token]

Haha it's ok

If u just want to show current timestamp then no

[velvet tinsel]

user = get(client.get_all_members(), id="863091076617601085")
                        if user:
                            await user.send(feedback_embed)
                        else:
                            await ctx.send("uhh no")

forgive the indents but why does this not work?

you could have used datetime but ok

[slate swan]

I also have a clock

[velvet tinsel]

winrar

help

user = get(client.get_all_members(), id="863091076617601085")
                        if user:
                            await user.send(feedback_embed)
                        else:
                            await ctx.send("uhh no")

why doesn't that work

it sends "uhh no"

@slate swan pls

[near sail]

IDs are integers not str

[velvet tinsel]

Yes, I tried that. Doesn't work either.

that's literally what I wrote

🤣

I did try that

[near sail]

Hm, then probably the user is not in cache. Try fetching the user

O wrong reply

[near sail]

^

[velvet tinsel]

I fetch the user?

I'll try that

[near sail]

!d discord.Guild.fetch_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_member

await fetch_member(member_id, /)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Retrieves a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") from a guild ID, and a member ID.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_member()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.get_member "discord.Guild.get_member") instead.

[velvet tinsel]

DM a user when the bot is in mutual servers but the recipient doesn't share a server with the user

[near sail]

That ain't possible

[velvet tinsel]

Wait no?

[near sail]

You can only DM people if you share a server with them

[velvet tinsel]

Damn

Well that sucks

I’ll send an error message then

Myxi how dare you

😠

You lied to me all this time myxi

No not you

[boreal ravine]

try DMing someone that doesn't share a server with you, doesn't work does it? 😂

connect four

Make a connect four command

With views 😎

[sullen shoal]

what do you exactly mean by that

if the bot shares a mutual server with the user, it should work doesnt it

[slate swan]

is there some async library for pillow , or i need to use run_in_executor?

actually i must ask this in #async-and-concurrency

			     reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0)
			     print(str(reaction.emoji))
			     if reaction.emoji == u"\U0001f6cd":
			     	print("yessss")
			     	return
			     print("passed")
			except asyncio.TimeoutError:
				await channel.send('👎)```

Hello why isnt it ignoring the condition and printing "passed" instead of "yesss" when I react 🛍️

[tawdry perch]

if str(reaction.emoji) == ...

[thick sigil]

or reaction.emoji.name

since str returns the emojis name

[vast gale]

str(reaction.emoji) != reaction.emoji

[velvet tinsel]

He’s not a newbie, he is in fact very experienced

[velvet tinsel]

How about storing the recipients message in a variable and locate a channel and then send the value in the variable

[sullen shoal]

so you want to clone the recipients message to another channel or smth?

[velvet tinsel]

Yes

I originally thought about DM

[sullen shoal]

the only thing you could clone is the content

from the instance

[velvet tinsel]

Connect 4 the game? It’s probably going to be very hard but if you know 2D lists it should be alright

[velvet tinsel]

👌

[indigo hill]

I just read what happened with discord.py and why it got discontinued.
There were a lot of technical terms which I didn't understand.
So can anyone tell me what is the current state of discord bots and if its still worth investing time into?

How do the changes affect newbie like me?

[sullen shoal]

there are forks of it which are 100% up to date with discord api

[unkempt silo]

how to print values in status now, me, count in here, is it list or wht? pls help
[<status now='yes' me=ok count=2>]

anyone ? :(

[sullen shoal]

what is that

how did you get it

looks like a list with a single element which might be an instance of a class

[unkempt silo]

wait

its message.reactions

like this - [<Reaction emoji='😏' me=True count=2>]

[sullen shoal]

Message.reactions returns a list of discord.Reaction

!d discord.Reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction

class discord.Reaction```
Represents a reaction to a message.

Depending on the way this object was created, some of the attributes can have a value of `None`.

x == y Checks if two reactions are equal. This works by checking if the emoji is the same. So two messages with the same reaction will be considered “equal”.

x != y Checks if two reactions are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the reaction’s hash.

str(x) Returns the string form of the reaction’s emoji.

[gloomy coral]

WHYYYYYY

https://github.com/TechnoFrost27/chad-the-discord-bot/blob/main/cogs/tasks.py

its in tasks..py......

[unkempt silo]

mm
i want to get specific msg reactions, details like emoji, how many reacts

using msg id

[slate swan]

Can you give the link to the file and lines instead of the entire repository? It will help a lot of people.

[sullen shoal]

fetch the message, iterate through the list of reactions then use its attributes

[slate swan]

When you're on a file in your repository you can click the line(s) on the left to get a link to the line(s).

[gloomy coral]

done

[gloomy coral]

changed

[slate nymph]

how to send texts in different lines using bot?

[wild oak]

@slate swan do you have any idea how much time i took just to get the old version of your bot back to version 2.8 before you started to use slash commands took like oh my gosh i had to do way to much lmao but now i got everything

Did you ever have a weather command or did i find that from someone else

[slate swan]

Never had any.

[unkempt silo]

ill try, thank you

[slate swan]

You can download the source from the version 2.8 here: https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/releases/tag/2.8

[sullen shoal]

if you want it to repeat every hour then why did you set the timer to 40 seconds? remove that asyncio.sleep and set the timer to an hour

[wild oak]

Ohhhh no no no i had to like make it my own repo so i had to get the github desktop app and upload the folder i downloaded

[sullen shoal]

the loop will run every 40 seconds

it doesnt care about the execution

[wild oak]

but i got it lmao

[slate swan]

You can compare the commands decorators and change them accordingly.

You will see the difference between slash commands and normal commands easily.

[wild oak]

now im debating on whether or not to switch back to the latest version now

[slate swan]

Up to you, I will add normal and slash commands this weekend.

So that people can choose which they want.

[gloomy coral]

but it has a sleep right

[wild oak]

but im not really like familiar with how to use them so ehhehh

they do look really nice when using them though

[sullen shoal]

the function will be called every 40 seconds. it doesn't wait until the execution completes

[gloomy coral]

so if i call every 1 hour

[sullen shoal]

it will call it once an hour

[gloomy coral]

will it still work or does it hv to be every 59 mins or idk

[wild oak]

do you ever plan on making buttons because im trying to learn how to even start using them?

[gloomy coral]

i dont want it missing the time gap

[sullen shoal]

if you want it to be 59 minutes, use the minutes kwarg

[gloomy coral]

yeah no ik tht.. but shld it be every 59 mins or 1 hour

[slate swan]

Yes, I will add a new command that uses buttons along with using disnake in the version 4.0 coming this weekend.

[boreal ravine]

examples folder

[wild oak]

what

[sullen shoal]

it will call it every 59 minutes if you set it to 59

[gloomy coral]

i want it twice a day at 8 30 pm and am ist

[sullen shoal]

60 if you set it to 60

[gloomy coral]

bruh......

ik tht..... im saying wht shld i set it as

[boreal ravine]

theres an examples folder if you want examples for views

[wild oak]

where

[boreal ravine]

in the lib ur using

[sullen shoal]

what do you want, what is your confusion

[gloomy coral]

because then it will have a uniform time right?

[wild oak]

Thanks alot

[lyric moat]

can anyone help?

[gloomy coral]

Current code... how do i make it do this at specific times without repeating 2 times

[vocal shoal]

is there a function to get the name of the cog the command is in?

[cobalt jacinth]

can i run fastapi and discord bot on the same server

[slate swan]

When using add_field set the inline kwarg to False for every field. Such as:

embed.add_field(..., inline=False)

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Embed.add_field @lyric moat

[plucky shoal]

ctx.command.cog maybe? something like that

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[sullen shoal]

what is your specific time

[plucky shoal]

You can check the docs @vocal shoal

[vocal shoal]

ok thanks

[lyric moat]

Ty

I thought it was ture

[wild oak]

@slate swan You should add a eval command to the template

[gloomy coral]

8 30 ist, 3 local time

[rose shale]

how can i record voice channel audio using bot?

[boreal ravine]

jsk exists

[slate swan]

I won't add this as it's a template, not an entire bot.

[sullen shoal]

use before_loop then

[wild oak]

:o

[gloomy coral]

what is tht

[boreal ravine]

dont just copy a whole template smh

[sullen shoal]

one sec

[gloomy coral]

waiting

[slate swan]

And if you want an eval command you can use Jihaksu (don't remember the name exactly)

[boreal ravine]

Jishaku*

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.before_loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.before\_loop

@before_loop```
A decorator that registers a coroutine to be called before the loop starts running.

This is useful if you want to wait for some bot state before the loop starts, such as [`discord.Client.wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.wait_until_ready "discord.Client.wait_until_ready").

The coroutine must take no arguments (except `self` in a class context).

[lyric moat]

How can i make the bot show the user activty?

[gloomy coral]

kk

[wild oak]

i just had a stroke lmao

[sullen shoal]

you may check the time there

[slate swan]

!pypi jishaku

[unkempt canyon]

jishaku v2.3.2

A discord.py extension including useful tools for bot development and debugging.

[wild oak]

kk brb

[boreal ravine]

go to the hospital

[wild oak]

nah im already dead

[slate swan]

Use this for eval command @wild oak

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[slate swan]

You all have a great time, will work on my projects ^^

[gloomy coral]

will this work @sullen shoal

@tasks.loop(seconds=40)  # repeat after every 40 seconds

[wild oak]

Ok but i might need help using it lmao 😂

[gloomy coral]

use my eval command instead 😎

[lyric moat]

how can i make the bot see if the user if offline / dnd / idle / online

[wild oak]

what

[gloomy coral]

https://github.com/TechnoFrost27/chad-the-discord-bot/blob/main/cogs/eval.py

u might wanna change nextcord with wht u using tho

[gloomy coral]

check and tell me pls

[sullen shoal]

i have to lookup smth that i forgot before i answer one min

[wild oak]

like with what

[gloomy coral]

kk

def seconds_until(hours, minutes):
    given_time = datetime.time(hours, minutes)
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    future_exec = datetime.datetime.combine(now, given_time)
    if (future_exec - now).days < 0:  # If we are past the execution, it will take place tomorrow
    future_exec = datetime.datetime.combine(now + datetime.timedelta(days=1), given_time) # days always >= 0

    return (future_exec - now).total_seconds()
    

async def my_job_forever(self):
    while True:  # Or change to self.is_running or some variable to control the task
        await asyncio.sleep(seconds_until(11,58))  # Will stay here until your clock says 11:58
        print("See you in 24 hours from exactly now")
        await asyncio.sleep(60)  # Practical solution to ensure that the print isn't spammed as long as it is 11:58```

i can use this too tho.. but then not for 12 hours

[wild oak]

what do i change nextcord to

[lyric moat]

how can i make something like this

[wild oak]

discord.py?

[boreal ravine]

if statements

!d discord.Member.status <=

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status: discord.enums.Status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") instead.

[wild oak]

discord.ext

[lyric moat]

um

[sullen shoal]

i dont really remember but to ignore the current loop, i think you have to use Loop.restart()
and indent that thing one level lower

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.restart

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.restart

restart(*args, **kwargs)```
A convenience method to restart the internal task.

Note

Due to the way this function works, the task is not returned like [`start()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop.start "discord.ext.tasks.Loop.start").

[gloomy coral]

nvm im doing this its easier

            await asyncio.sleep(60)```

[sullen shoal]

isnt that what i told you to do at first tho

[tawdry perch]

how could I make a time converter like @unkempt canyon has?

or just smth else than bunch of if statements

[bronze pilot]

I'm having trouble getting my bot to connect to a voice channel, can somebody review this code please?

@commands.command()
    async def join(self, ctx):
        if ctx.author.voice is None:
            await ctx.send("You are not in a voice channel")

        voice_channel = ctx.author.voice_channel

        # Connects to voice channel if not in the context's vc,
        # otherwise joins the context's vc
        if ctx.voice_client is None:
            await voice_channel.connect()
        else:
            await ctx.voice_client.move_to(voice_channel)

I got this off of a youtube tutorial because I'm only just starting out with cogs. Can provide more info if needed.

From what I could tell there could be an attribute of ctx,author or the like that doesnt exist, but no errors occur

[tawdry perch]

I would use smth like this instead```py
await ctx.guild.change_voice_state(channel=voice_channel_h)

[bronze pilot]

If I am not in a voice channel, it will output what is after the first if statement and then nothing happens

[tawdry perch]

oh wait no

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.voice is a thing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.voice

property voice: Optional[discord.member.VoiceState]```
Returns the member’s current voice state.

[bronze pilot]

If I am in a voice channel, nothing happens

yes, exactly, I found this too

[maiden fable]

U need ctx.author.voice.channel

[bronze pilot]

that;s what I meant by this

I will try this

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceState.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.channel

The voice channel that the user is currently connected to. None if the user is not currently in a voice channel.

[maiden fable]

See ^^^

[tawdry perch]

Hunter, have you made any time converters/ time mapping

[bronze pilot]

im just looking to see what is wrong with the code, not sure how I would implement most of the suggestions from doc searches

[bronze pilot]

This fixed the issue, thank you 🙂

[maiden fable]

Cool!

[maiden fable]

As in?

[tawdry perch]

I need a better option for this ```py
if time is None:
time = apply_time + timedelta(hours=1)
else:
if 'm' in new_time:
convert = int(new_time[:-1])
time = apply_time + timedelta(minutes=convert)
elif 'h' in new_time:
convert = int(time[:-1])
time = apply_time + timedelta(hours=convert)
elif 'd' in new_time:
convert = int(time[:-1])
time = apply_time + timedelta(days=convert)
else:
time = apply_time + timedelta(hours=1)
time_conv = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d, %H:%M:%S")

I done some stuff with dir() and couldnt find a voice_channel either, but didnt know what the solution would be. Thanks guys

[tawdry perch]

Currently I have bunch of if statements, and I would need to make a function that converts it for me

[maiden fable]

Oh

Uhh, do one thing

Wait, did u try seeing Python's source?

[tawdry perch]

eh not yet

[velvet tinsel]

I’m just here

Laughing at your feeble attempts to solve a question nah jk what do you need help with @tawdry perch

[tawdry perch]

I need better option for this

[maiden fable]

Please don't say stuff like that from next time, even if u meant it as a joke. The person can get offended

[velvet tinsel]

Oh ok

[tawdry perch]

I would not get offended, but someone might

[velvet tinsel]

Sorry 😦

[tawdry perch]

https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/bot/converters.py#L356-L395 found this

[maiden fable]

Yea, just talking in general tbh

[brave vessel]

Hmm, you could use a dictionary to emulate a switch/case or if statement with the substring as the key and the new convert time as the value and then do that

[maiden fable]

Cool!

[tawdry perch]

now I need to understand it ;-;

[brave vessel]

ohh wait

[velvet tinsel]

What were you trying to do? Enlighten me

[maiden fable]

U still need to do some math tbh

Wait, I have an idea...

[boreal ravine]

Con*

[maiden fable]

Just convert the time to seconds, get current time and just add the seconds to the current time

[tawdry perch]

Exampe py !mute 3h it finds that there is h in argument and converts it to hours

[boreal ravine]

eh

[maiden fable]

Then use

[velvet tinsel]

I tried that it never really worked

[maiden fable]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

!intent

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[flint cosmos]

Oh, my bad

[tawdry perch]

I found this converter from someone that I have asked before: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qinedodadi.py
But it does not really work for me

[sullen shoal]

intent, indent, intend these words are confusing asf

[maiden fable]

Well I told u the answer @tawdry perch

[velvet tinsel]

😂😂

So true

[tawdry perch]

I see

but building it to have multiple arguments sounds painful

[maiden fable]

Suppose the duration is 3 hours. Then u can do something like

cur_time = time.time() 
seconds = 3*60*60
end_time = cur_time + seconds
final = utils.format_dt(end_time) 
await ctx.send(final) 

[remote acorn]

lol

[maiden fable]

This is what I would have done. U will still have to use if statements, but this is the most easiest way out

[sullen shoal]

its pretty easy to do if you use slash commands

[tawdry perch]

I will try stealing from @unkempt canyon first

[flint cosmos]

I just did this:

import os
import discord
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

botToken = os.environ.get("botToken")

systemMessagesChannelID = 913090699254190110

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = client.get_channel(systemMessagesChannelID)
    await channel.send(f"{member} has joined.")

client.run(botToken)

I am still running into the same issue

[maiden fable]

Bro, intents

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True
discord.Client(intents=intents)

[sullen shoal]

and please follow the pep 8 styleguide, https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

[maiden fable]

Ok

[sullen shoal]

Ok

[flint cosmos]

Does it really matter that much

[sullen shoal]

well it helps to actually read your code

[flint cosmos]

I dont think that it is that horrible to read though, eh?

[sullen shoal]

for many python developers it is, if you're doing some team work, you're gonna have some hard time

[flint cosmos]

I am not sure whats wrong with this code

import os
import discord
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

botToken = os.environ.get("botToken")

systemMessagesChannelID = 913090699254190110

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True
discord.Client(intents=intents)

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(systemMessagesChannelID)
    await channel.send(f"{member} has joined.")

bot.run(botToken)

[sullen shoal]

python developers prefer snake case

system_message_channel_ID

[flint cosmos]

I am aware, but it I don't just use one language so it isn't that significant to me personally

[slate nymph]

does anybody use beautifulsoup?

[sullen shoal]

well, i will not force you just gotta let you know that it is not considered good for python developers to not follow the styleguide

there are extensions to easily change the case if you have difficulty to do it yourself

[slate swan]

where i can learn discord py api with toturial ?

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan Please don't try to ping @everyone or @here. Your message has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

Oh im sorry

[tawdry perch]

how could I make a bot generate time stamps? like these <t:somenumber>

[silver wolf]

Plenty of YouTube tutorials out there. Just make sure they mention “intents”. If not it’s too old

[velvet tinsel]

I’m back

How est everyone

[tawdry perch]

pretty good

I successfully made stole time converter

[brave vessel]

Honestly what I've used for a time converter is dateutil.parser.parse

[vast gale]

arrow.get() :D

[brave vessel]

ooh, what does arrow.get do?

it's probalby faster than dateutil.parser.parse

[vast gale]

it doesn't do relative times but it should work on anything else

bad

it was added to docs at some point I swear

[slate swan]

anyone is ready for work on music and moderation bot ?

[halcyon wigeon]

guys help pls how do you copy and paste code from replit it wont work

like the bot doesnt come online

[slate swan]

match that tu 2021 discord.py

[summer gazelle]

Heyy

Who has an idea about how to disable links sending for everyone except admins 🤔🤔

?

[slate swan]

no

[tawdry perch]

I just stole the one @unkempt canyon uses, it is quite good

[vast gale]

@brave vessel arrow does a bunch, and is a drop in replacement with datetime.datetime.
arrow.get ends up parsing 8601, Unix time, and several other formats

[tawdry perch]

I also made timestamp generator

[quick gust]

how would I get my bot's default role once it joins a server?

[slate swan]

||with python||

😂

[quick gust]

funny

[summer gazelle]

Lol

[halcyon wigeon]

pwease help

[summer gazelle]

Ill send ya my code in dm

[vast gale]

I made my own lol

[summer gazelle]

If u want

[quick gust]

no just tell me

[manic wing]

there is no 'default role'. The only default role is @everyone

[vast gale]

there is. they're talking about the integration role.

[quick gust]

the role which is attached to the bot

[tawdry perch]

I just use datetime module

[manic wing]

oh that one

[quick gust]

yep

[manic wing]

idk why you want that lol

[quick gust]

well

    try:
        await guild.system_channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)
    except disnake.errors.Forbidden:
        role = guild.self_role
        await guild.system_channel.set_permissions(role, send_messages=True)
        await guild.system_channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)```

that doesn't work btw

still gives me disnake.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[manic wing]

do except Exception as e: print(e, type(e))

[quick gust]

sec

[manic wing]

its possible disnake fucked something

[quick gust]

403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions <class 'disnake.errors.Forbidden'>

the output ^^

[slate swan]

how can i limit an argument size?
for example

user: ^setprefix 123456789ab
bot: error: argument passes 10 character limit```

[quick gust]

if len(arg) > 10:
    #stuff here```

[slate swan]

Lemme get on my PC, gimme 1

[velvet tinsel]

Your bot is missing perms

[quick gust]

kk np

Your bot is missing permissions

[maiden fable]

Yea your bot doesn't have the perms

thats what my try except statement should fix...

yes thats what im trying

I tried that doesn’t work

[velvet tinsel]

Use an error handler

[quick gust]

bro

[velvet tinsel]

Dpy ignores try except

[quick gust]

...

[velvet tinsel]

I tried that before

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Try doing disnake.Forbidden instead of disnake.errors.Forbidden

[velvet tinsel]

Trust me

[maiden fable]

Intents*

Capital i

[slate swan]

ok

[velvet tinsel]

Yep

[slate swan]

ty

[velvet tinsel]

Well

It’s slightly empty here

[quick gust]

same response

[slate swan]

@maiden fable now what is the error?

[maiden fable]

could be any other line is causing that error?

[maiden fable]

commands.Bot*

[velvet tinsel]

Use an error handler

[quick gust]

dont think so

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild : disnake.Guild):
    view = Links()
    embed = disnake.Embed(color=0x00a6f2)
    embed.add_field(name="Thanks for adding the bot to your server, my prefix is `a.` and you can type `a.help` to see a list of commands", value="Feel free to join the [support server](x) if you have any questions", inline=True)
    try:
        await guild.system_channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)
    except disnake.Forbidden:
        role = guild.self_role
        await guild.system_channel.set_permissions(role, send_messages=True)
        await guild.system_channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)```

[velvet tinsel]

Error handler

[velvet tinsel]

Use an error handler

[quick gust]

dude

[slate swan]

||no got your other problems im god i say 1000 to you|| 😂

[quick gust]

calm down, I am not gonna make an error handler for just 1 event if its not even required probably

[maiden fable]

also there is no error handler for an event 🤣

[quick gust]

lmfao

i already have one for my commands

[velvet tinsel]

Ok but error handlers

[quick gust]

?

[velvet tinsel]

They work well

[maiden fable]

Bruh

[quick gust]

I can now see that you have learnt from Lucas

its visible now

[velvet tinsel]

…no?

[maiden fable]

@velvet tinsel did u even read my message....?

[velvet tinsel]

Well I learned the basics off of him

[maiden fable]

^^^ @velvet tinsel

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[quick gust]

🥴

[slate swan]

What is even happening here?

[glass rock]

how do i get username of person that pushes the button?

[velvet tinsel]

pycord

[quick gust]

lmao this guy

[tawdry perch]

?

[quick gust]

what lib are u using?

[velvet tinsel]

?

[glass rock]

wha

[slate swan]

That wasnt his question?

[velvet tinsel]

Discord py no longer supports buttons so you have to use pycord

[glass rock]

discord module

[velvet tinsel]

Or slash commands

[quick gust]

there are other libraries incase you didn't know

[velvet tinsel]

😞

[slate swan]

Disnake has buttons too and i think theirs a author feature

[glass rock]

wha

[velvet tinsel]

That’s the main one I know

[quick gust]

yep

[velvet tinsel]

🤷‍♂️

[quick gust]

false statement then

[velvet tinsel]

Calm down ok

[slate swan]

Disnake is the best fork that has slash commands and buttons and his closest competitor ill say is discord.js they are very quick with their features

[maiden fable]

when the kid inside you awakes

[velvet tinsel]

👌 💯

Empty again

Slightly

[slate swan]

pycord

[velvet tinsel]

pycord

[glass rock]

wha

[velvet tinsel]

||pycord||

[glass rock]

im lost

[velvet tinsel]

Idk why you send pycord in italics but I’m just continuing

[velvet tinsel]

Find other libs

Discord py no longer supports buttons and slashes

[sullen shoal]

i wanna learn rust, it sounds cool

[velvet tinsel]

😭

[glass rock]

i did lol

[velvet tinsel]

Me too but I am trying to learn JS

[velvet tinsel]

Then read the docs

[slate swan]

Use disnake its the best fork with the same syntax of discord.py that has buttons and slash commands and other features and you will not need any third party libs for it

[slate swan]

Ive been thinking of learning C++ or js

[sullen shoal]

js is pain, imma try some other time

[velvet tinsel]

Apparently C++ is hard

🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

Yeah it is

[glass rock]

thx

[sullen shoal]

that this thing of js is very confusing

[velvet tinsel]

According to a Reddit post in programmer humour

[glass rock]

o oke

[slate swan]

Js and C++ are both very hard languages

[slate swan]

Your welcome!

[velvet tinsel]

The amount of times I said read the docs and Google is now 1000

I reached my goal

🥳

[quick gust]

for real

this then

[velvet tinsel]

Britain is cold

[sullen shoal]

it changes its value in any moment

[slate swan]

-s-

[velvet tinsel]

🥶

[slate swan]

how?

[velvet tinsel]

I can’t wait to go home

[slate swan]

Im going to learn Go

[velvet tinsel]

✅

ok

[sullen shoal]

goroutines look cool

[slate swan]

Im joking im not

'sss'

ss

I think im just going to learn js,C++,C# and then i dont know

[sullen shoal]

once i finish my basic api wrapper im gonna have some fun with other languages (rust and go)

[slate swan]

Go is pretty nice

I love it

[sullen shoal]

yeah i saw your article on it

goroutines seem to be cool

[slate swan]

Way better than coroutines xD

||PhP||

[sullen shoal]

uh

[slate swan]

I mean, I also use php on a daily basis

anyone know what is problem ?

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

[slate swan]

how to get true ?

I just wrote it

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

¯_(ツ)_/¯

?

the discord bot is hard

work

members

[slate swan]

how you learn the discord py toturial ?

You use the documentation

@slate swan pls add friend me

[sullen shoal]

and examples

[slate swan]

No thanks

[slate swan]

pls 😭

[tawdry perch]

why ya begging?

[slate swan]

Still no and won't change. Ask your questions here

[sullen shoal]

for winrar subscription

[slate swan]

Sorry everybody here likes too keep all conversations here and keep their life separate from here.

^

[slate swan]

ok

[tawdry perch]

why would you need to DM that question to someone anyways

[slate swan]

Bot

commands.Bot

And name your variable bot instead of client

I think he followed a freecodecamp tutorial.

hmm

[sullen shoal]

thats bad and sad

[slate swan]

People doing tutorials like that are worse than the ones following them..

that is have proble many

I dont think so because the original he was using discord.Client()

[slate swan]

command_prefix

[slate swan]

Well then it makes sense

[slate swan]

Yeah

[tawdry perch]

it hurts to see people use bot, but naming it client

[slate swan]

Then you also need

import os

at the top

[slate swan]

Yeah its not good practice

I dont think it matters

[slate swan]

Does*

Why does it matter

[slate swan]

Its bad practice as your using the bot instance and not client

But it doesnt matter

Does naming a cow a goat make sense for you?

[tawdry perch]

naming is important, wont affect code but important. as example ```py
number = "banana"

does that make any sense? No

[slate swan]

Naming matters

U could call it poop and it would work

It's not a question about working or not

That's what you don't get

[sullen shoal]

i hope this guy dont get to do team work, i would feel bad

[tawdry perch]
